High Salary C

Nikola Jokic, DEN vs IND ($9,800): Paul Millsap is tearing it up for the Nuggets right now and Jokic is right beside him. He’s been over 60 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He had 58 fantasy points in the one game where he didn’t have 60-plus. Both offenses should be in fine form on Tuesday, leading to plenty of scoring opportunities. Jokic averaged 56.1 fantasy points in two games against the Pacers last season. Expect him over 50 fantasy points once again given his recent play and the matchup. *****

Nikola Vucevic, ORL at NY ($8,500): Vucevic has been over value in four straight and is coming off a 43.5 fantasy point effort against the Hawks on Sunday. The Knicks are 29th against centers in their last 15 games. With Enes Kanter unlikely to play and Michael Beasley listed as questionable, Vucevic could have an easier time on both ends of the floor. He’s averaging 46.1 fantasy points in three games against the Knicks this season and needs 39.7 fantasy points for value. He should be over 40 fantasy points, assuming he plays enough minutes. ****

Steven Adams, OKC vs GS ($6,900): The Warriors are seventh against the position in their last 15 games, but this is a matchup Adams has feasted on this year. He’s averaging 33.6 fantasy points in three games against the Warriors. That number puts him just over value on Tuesday. Keep in mind, no game between these two teams have been competitive, which has limited Adams’ minutes a bit. The Warriors have no reason answer for Adams, the Thunder know it, and they look to feed him more often than usual. He should get a double-double and get you around 35 fantasy points. ***
